This computer-generated image is used with the permission of Danish photographer David Trood. He traveled the world taking photographs of many hundreds of women in proportion to their ethic group’s relative size within the world community. Trood made sure that each woman’s eyes were precisely placed within the frame, then used a computer program to merge all the surrounding features to produce this remarkable image.
Global Women
In order to symbolize its belief in the inherent dignity, humanity and equality of all women around the world, “It’s a Woman’s World” sought out
five Twin Cities women of different ethnic origins, who kindly posed for this photograph wearing clothing from their ancestral homelands. From the front left around the globe to the front right, these women are Bridget Rosario-Vega, Nyango Melissa Nambangi, Uma Janga, Bonnie Peace Watkins, and Na Vang.

Show staff-member Michael Rossberg took this shot in pursuit of his interest in what he terms “reflectionography,” the art of taking colorful and visually interesting photographs of the world as it appears on any reflective surface, such as pools of water, building windows, and shiny metal surfaces. This photo depicts the sculpture of a woman as reflected in the water pool located in the Como Park Conservatory Sunken Garden.
